CATRICE Rouge à lèvres Diamond Glaze Gloss Stick 040 No Shade, Just Sparkle, 1,6 g

CATRICE Diamond Glaze Gloss Stick 040 No Shade, Just Sparkle, the glittering pink

This stick goes on like a balm: on contact with the lips the material melts and turns into a shiny, gel-like veil. Shade 040 is a see-through pink run through with sparkle, light enough to wear on its own by day or layered over a matte lipstick.

The comfort has more in common with a lip treatment than with a conventional gloss, with no tacky film and no greasy weight, as the formula carries no oils.

Key points

• Sparkling pink with translucent coverage
• Turns from balm into gloss on application
• Shiny, glitter-flecked result
• Handy 1.6 g stick, no wand to clean
• Paraben-free, non-oily texture

A tip from behind the counter: placed on the centre of the lower lip alone, this pink gives thin mouths instant relief. On chapped lips, exfoliate first, since the reflective particles catch on loose skin and draw attention to it.
